The Zenfone 12 Ultra arrives as ASUS’s bold pitch for a flagship that leans hard into on-device AI and camera stabilization rather than packing every spec war trophy. At its heart is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, a 6-series of AI and performance improvements, and ASUS’s much-touted 6-Axis Hybrid Gimbal Stabilizer 4.0 — a combination that promises buttery video and smarter imaging. The result is a phone that’s unusually confident about what it wants to be: a content-creator’s tool with practical AI tricks and rock-steady video, but not necessarily the best all-round flagship if you want the absolute top display or the widest global availability.
